[M] Will this pill control my runny nose?
[W] You should be able to detect
a change within two days.
[M] I'll try the samples and, if they work, I'll fill
the prescription you wrote.
[M] The doctor has volunteered to call in a prescription
for you. What pharmacy do you use?
[W] The one near my house is convenient,
but my husband will be picking up the prescription for me. Can I ask him which
he'd prefer?
[M] Sure. Why don't you consult with him and let me know.
[M] This prescription has
the potential to lower your blood
pressure, but only in conjunction with the other things we talked about
earlier.

my salt intake and get more exercise.

only one factor in your recovery.

you are concerned about the number
of medications I am taking.

and the potential for harmful drug interactions.
